Concept Search - What can I type?

For a concept search, you can enter phrases, sentences, or full paragraphs in English. For example, copy and paste the abstract of a patent application or paragraphs from an article.

Concept search eliminates the need for complex Boolean syntax to inform retrieval. Our Semantic Gist engine uses advanced cognitive semantic analysis to extract the meaning of data. This reduces the chances of missing valuable information, that may result from traditional keyword searching.

Time-Line Control - A New Control for Graphically
Specifying Time Ranges

Disclosed is
a solution to the problem of representing time in
the user interface of a computer program.
Presently, there is no
standard control available that provides a representation of time or
the elapse of time in a user interface of a computer program.

This
disclosure proposes a new control, which is a modification
and extension of the slider control.
Currently, the slider control
consists of a slider shaft (representing the range of possible
values), a slider arm (representing the current single value), and
some additional modification controls, such as fine-tuning arrows, at
the end of the slider shaft (Fig. 1).
The proposal modifies the
behavior and appearance of the slider arm.
It is replaced by a
"range arm", which consists of a start, a duration, and an end (Fig.
2). A user can define a range by
"picking up" either the start or
end of the range (defined by the end handles of the range arm) and
dragging to a new location, using the mouse manipulation button. A
user can also relocate a defined range by dragging, using the mouse
manipulation button, anywhere in the duration part of the range arm.
This will move the defined range to a different location in the
slider shaft.

A user can
define a new range, or create a new range, by using
the mouse selection buttons. To define a
range that starts at 5 and
continues until 10, a user will press the mouse...
